Li Jinshuo had been tricked into going out to search for water and food.
Originally, he hadn't dared to go, since their coordinates had already been exposed.
But the cunning Cui Chengtai had convinced him, arguing that everyone on Blue Star knew that each time a new map was generated, the National Gate's location would also change.
Hearing this, Li Jinshuo's eyes lit up.
As long as the National Gate wasn't exposed, what was there to fear from Dragon Country!
They wouldn't even have to beg Eagle Country to take them in. With their three Guardians—one Gold and two Red talents—what resources couldn't they acquire?!
[Battlefield Notification: Dragon Country Guardian Qin Feng has successfully killed Kimchi Country Guardian Li Jinshuo.]
Upon receiving this message, Cui Chengtai and Kim Min-yong, standing at the Kimchi Country National Gate, remained completely unfazed, their expressions showing no emotion.
Cui Chengtai said coldly, "It seems that damn Qin Feng was indeed camping outside."
Kim Min-yong nodded silently, "Yeah, our only option now is to beg Eagle Country."
The other Guardians, however, were shocked by this news. Not because another Kimchi Country Guardian had been killed, but because they wondered how Qin Feng had succeeded so early.
The map had only just been generated.
"Hahaha, they're numb, completely numb."
"If I were them, I'd be numb too."
"God Qin is incredible! He's blocked them from getting out."
"The Kimchi Country's people must be numb by now, right? No matter how many new Guardians they randomly summon, the outcome will be the same."
"Now, the Kimchi Country can only wait to be slaughtered by the Eagle Country."
The Dragon Country netizens were analyzing the current situation for the Kimchi Country.
Immediately after, Cui Chengtai indeed once again humbly begged the Eagle Country to take them in.
In the Guardians' chat room, they were also discussing the formation of alliances.
Having entered the second phase, even the National Battlefield recommended joint operations.
This indicated it was absolutely necessary!
After some exploration, they discovered two modes of alliance.
One was an equal mutual aid alliance. Not only was their status equal, but even the occupied resources could be equally distributed and materialized for the countries behind the Guardians.
The other was a relationship like that between the Dragon Country and the Neil Country.
A suzerain state and its vassal state.
All resources belonged exclusively to the suzerain state.
After more than half a day of contentious discussion, the Guardians established several alliances in the chat room.
Among them, the most striking and unconventional were the various small and large countries in Eastern and Western Europe, which, led by the Rotten Country and Germany respectively, formed two equal alliances.
The other was the domineering Bear Country, which headed a suzerain alliance.
Four or five small nations surrounding Bear Country suffered significant losses during the third wave of attacks. Desperate for protection, they had no choice but to become Bear Country's vassal states.
Bear Country accepted them all without hesitation.
After all, who wouldn't be thrilled to have others gather resources for them?
The Bear Country on Blue Star immediately dispatched troops to these small nations to help them clear out the Taotie.
Bear Country didn't care whether these small nations survived, but it did care about the lives of their Guardians on the National Destiny Battlefield.
If these small nations were destroyed, their Guardians would be gone too.
On the National Destiny Battlefield, every extra pair of hands meant the potential to seize another resource point.
As for the next wave of attacks being larger?
The more debts you have, the less you worry about them!
As long as they could hold the wall and defend the National Gate, everything would be fine.
Besides, with so many new cannon fodder, defending the National Gate might even become easier.
And even if the monsters broke through the wall, they just needed to protect their own National Gate.
The National Gates of the vassal states?
They could fend for themselves!
George from Eagle Country shared the exact same mindset as Bear Country.
He had repeatedly rejected Kimchi Country, initially fearing they couldn't handle the doubled monster horde.
But the situation had changed now.
George's perspective shifted accordingly, but his desire to extort Kimchi Country remained unchanged.
Ultimately, Kimchi Country's three Guardians—possessing two Red and one Gold-tier talents—were forced into becoming a vassal state of Eagle Country.
Not only were all their resources consolidated by Eagle Country, but even the resources Cui Chengtai and his team had scavenged on the National Battlefield had to be handed over in full.
To survive, Cui Chengtai could only agree in tears as he stared at the damned Iron Man outside the walls.
Watching the discussions in the chat room, Qin Feng understood that the situation on the National Battlefield had undergone a drastic transformation.
Of course, these changes only mattered to the other Guardians; for him, it made little difference.
"Huh? Sakura Country has been keeping a very low profile lately."
Amidst the countless discussions and information from the joint center, Qin Feng hadn't seen a single mention of Sakura Country.
After witnessing Qin Feng's overwhelming power, Sakura Country had begun to adopt a strategy of cautious, stealthy development.
They knew that if Qin Feng discovered the location of their National Gate, they would suffer the same fate as Kimchi Country—becoming a vassal state of Eagle Country.
"Sir, Drone No. 36 has finished printing."
Just then, Jarvis reported.
A total of eleven drones had already been deployed.
Qin Feng nodded. "Send them out to map the area. Everyone has rested for half the day anyway."
"Yes, sir."
Since the map had been updated, Dragon Country's Guardians had been resting at home all morning.
They were waiting for the drones to survey the terrain.
Suli and the others needed new monster nests, while Uncle Jiu and his team needed new corpse-farming grounds.
The dozen or so underlings he commanded had only recently spent their funds on upgrades, meaning there was still room for further enhancement.
[Battlefield Notification: Pakistan has applied to become your vassal state. Please choose: Agree, Disagree.]
A selection box popped up.
Qin Feng wasn't surprised by the message.
After all, the National Battlefield itself had already suggested forming alliances, and other countries were already doing so in droves.
At this point, Pakistan finally couldn't hold back any longer.
With Rost's persuasion, Ahmed had finally agreed to apply for vassal state status.
Qin Feng naturally clicked "Agree."
After consulting him, Uncle Jiu and Sister Bao'er also clicked "Agree."
Instantly, the National Gate trembled. Moments later, a new National Gate appeared to the right of Dragon Country's.
Three large characters were inscribed upon it: "Pakistan."
Together with Neil Country's National Gate, it now flanked and protected Dragon Country's gate in the center.
Along with the gate, three houses also appeared.
The door opened, and three rugged men stepped out, one of whom was wearing a Pakistan military uniform.
He was Rost, the newly appointed Guardian.
The three men looked around curiously. "It's really the Dragon Country's National Gate!"
"Oh man, we've finally linked up with Big Brother!"
"This is great."
On Blue Star, the netizens of Dragon Country and Pakistan celebrated wildly, marking the triumphant meeting of the two nations' Guardians.
Not only them, but the citizens of Neil Country were also overjoyed. As the alliance grew stronger, their own country would become increasingly secure.
"Mr. Qin."
"Greetings, Mr. Qin."
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
The three Pakistan Guardians greeted the mecha hovering in the sky.
*Thud!*
Qin Feng landed and lifted his visor, revealing his handsome face.
"You've finally arrived," he said.
Ahmed scratched his head awkwardly. "Well, we were afraid of causing trouble for Big Brother and dragging you down, so we never applied to become a vassal state."
Qin Feng patted his shoulder and smiled. "Don't say that. We're brothers. Isn't it better to withstand the impact together from now on?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, Mr. Qin."
At that moment, Rost stepped forward.
"Mr. Qin, Section Chief Li of the National War Department of Dragon Country asked me to give this to you."
In his hand was that very USB drive.
